Abstract: Non-amenability of $mathcalB(E)$ has been surprisingly difficult to prove for the classical Banach spaces, but is now known for $E=el{l}_p$ and $E=L_p$ for all $1leqp<infty$. However, the arguments are rather indirect: the proof for $L_1$ goes via non-amenability of $el{l}^{i}nfty(mathcalK(el{l}_1))$ and a transference principle developed by Daws and Runde (Studia Math., 2010). In this note, we provide a short proof that $mathcalB(L_1)$ and some of its subalgebras are non-amenable, which completely bypasses all of this machinery. Our approach is based on classical properties of the ideal of representable operators on $L_1$, and shows that $mathcalB(L_1)$ is not even approximately amenable.
